A Steampunk Musical Interlude
Dear Readers,
As regular readers may be aware This Journal and its Editor have something of a penchant for the Victorian, Neo-Victorian and Steampunk. Since my favourite Neo-Victorian journals (What ho Proles! and Nottlesby’s Notebook) have fallen into desuetude I have occasionally sought Refuge from this decadent and corrupt Age in the World of Steampunk. Of the various Steampunk Journals, one of my favourites has been Brass Googles.
A recent entry has an unusual piece of Steampunk Music that I simply had to share with others. What makes it unusual is that it isn’t a piece of Gothic or Electronic Music (both of which I frankly loathe) – it is, what one commentator called, “pith-hop”.
While warning the Sensitive of the presence of more sexual innuendo than a Carry On movie, Not in Front of the Servants would like to Present:
Elemental — Cup of Brown Joy (a Tea Rap)
Now I’m off to brew a Pot of Tea.
Cheerio,
Mild Colonial Boy, Esq.
[P.S. 2nd of June - The lyrics for this ode to Tea can be found here]
